Introduction: Cannabis potency and its use during pregnancy have increased in the last decade. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of antenatal cannabis use on fetal growth, preterm birth and other perinatal outcomes.
Material And Methods: A propensity score-matched analysis was performed in women with singleton pregnancies attending a tertiary care site in Barcelona.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how infective endocarditis (IE) affects pregnant women who don’t use drugs and included cases from 14 hospitals over many years.
- Most women in the study were around 33 years old and had their babies about 30 weeks along; many had no prior heart issues.
- Most women faced serious problems, like heart failure and complications with their pregnancies, including some that resulted in surgery or even loss of the baby; one woman sadly died from the illness.
